Here's what solved the swap growth issue for me: (Not sure if its
related but might help someone).

I had sluggish performance with intel graphics, so I followed this guide and 
switched to UXA from EXA. That's when I noticed the swap growth but didn't 
think they were related at all.

After googling around I found UXA has some major memory leaks which could cause 
swap growth.

I Switched back to EXA (only changing xorg.conf but still with driver
upgrades and patch scripts), and that resolved my issues. No compiz, but
I have acceptable graphics performance and no memory/swap worries.
